Village Life TUESDAY Lynn News, April 14, 2009 3Website: www.lynnnews.co.uk
ONE of the biggest
and busiest vil-
lages in West Nor-
folk, Heacham has
a strong sense of
community, and
this is amply
demonstrated by
the success of its
community web-
site.
Packed with informa-
tion about this large and
lively village, the website
is at www.heacham-on-
line.co.uk and continues
to clock up more and more
hits each year.
In 2007 it clocked up
298,802 hits and this surged
to 350,508 in 2008.
Heacham has many
thriving businesses and a
lively church.
There are two beaches,
and Heacham is one of the
few coastal locations from
where you can launch a
boat (with proof of insur-
ance).
The village is home to
one of the area's major
tourist attractions, Nor-
folk Lavender, which wel-
comes more than 150,000
visitors a year.
There are quiet corners
in the village, such as the
duckpond, Heacham
Brook, and St Mary's
parish church with its
memorials to Pocahontas,
the Native American
Indian princess who mar-
ried into a Heacham family
and became part of local
legend.
With miles of public
footpaths, Heacham is a
walker's paradise.
THERE ARE PLENTY of use-
ful and interesting shops and
facilities awaiting you in
Heacham, so be sure you
make the most of them dur-
ing your visit.
Both Station Road and
High Street are well worth a
browse, and in addition to
the regular stores with all
your basic goods, you will
find many specialist busi-
nesses that are worth seek-
ing out.
Heacham has many long-
established businesses that
pride themselves on the high
level of service and expertise
that they have developed
over the years and continue
to provide today.
While the High Street pro-
vides a good choice of shops
in a compact area, make sure
you don't miss out on Station
Road. It's on the way down
to the beaches, and as you
travel along it, you will find
plenty of interesting shops,
as well as a handy precinct
area with its own parking.
If you are a regular visitor
to Heacham's beaches with
their facilities and attractions,
be sure you don't miss out on
what the rest of the village
has to offer. Explore and be
adventurous -- you will be
glad you did.
Thriving website for a
busy community
The lavender fields, above, are a real symbol of Heacham.
Terrific choice of shopping
Heacham has some pretty corners awaiting discovery.
